crossing the bridge

bridge
oh yeah. my life is about to change, and i couldn't be more excited...or more scared.
what in the hell was i thinking quitting my secure and stable job (with benefits and paid vacation), to go back to school? well, i've come too far to turn back now. my semester is paid for, and i have nothing to loose. being totally unattached at 25 does have it's benefits. i get to do crazy things like this and not feel bad about it. i still struggle with the fear of failure, but i feel good about this next chapter in my life, so across that bridge i go :)

i finally turned in my first roll of 120 film. they said it will take 1-2 weeks and the processing costs $5.00, plus 65 cents for each 5 * 5 print. not too bad.

i have been to more concerts this summer than i have been to in the last 5 years. so far i've seen :
1. wolfmother, the yeah yeah yeahs, franz ferdinand, the strokes, and afi at bfd
2. peaches, bauhaus ( most boring fucking band i've ever seen) and nine inch nails
3. the goo goo dolls and the counting crows (a free ticket through work. i wouldn't pay for that shit. however, the counting crows were a surprisingly good show. no comment on the goo goo dolls)
4. pat benetar (another free ticket, i wouldn't have paid for this either, but i was stoked to go nonetheless. a great show)
5. mates of the state, spoon, and death cab for cutie. (we met the guitarist for death cab's mom. what a fucking cool and random moment was that?)
my summer of concert madness continues next month with dave matthews band on sept. 9th and scissor sisters on sept 29th. i love it!!!! and hopefully, considering my new careerpath, there will be plenty of concerts in my future ;)

Self- Dstruction

Cinequest Film Festival is taking over Downtown San Jose as we speak, and last night I went to the California Theatre to check out Tenacious DTour , a documentary that followed the D on their world tour in support of The Pick of Destiny . A funny thing happened when my friend and I went to pick out seats. We ended up sitting right next to Kyle Gass and his girlfriend. for those of you who aren't familiar with who he is, he's the other guy in the band who's not Jack Black. We had our momentary silent freak out when we realized it was him, at which point I quietly leaned over and told him he was awesome. He quietly thanked me, and normalcy was restored until a few kids came over asking for autographs. He obliged but soon realized the mini pencil he was given to sign with wasn't going to work. Thanks to my new Andy Warhol Happy Bug Day tote bag, complete with handy organizational top compartment, i had easy access to my pen. I handed it over with great joy, and he was abl

awaiting the arrival of the great pumpkin

happy halloween everyone! tonight is the night that all of the little ones have been waiting for all year. i remember being going trick or treating as a kid and the smell of mixed candies and pillowcases, the stomach ache you'd get from consuming 1/2 your bagworth an hour after you'd get home, and protecting what was left of your stash from the hungry hands of those around you. I used to hide a lot of my candy, and then forget about it and find it a year later, gooey and stuck to a notebook in the back of my closet. Now that i am older, however, my halloween usually takes place at a party the weekend before the big day. This year, i once again ventured to Pasadena to celebrate with my friends Liz and Melanie. here is a short re-cap of the trip highlights - to combat my discomfort when flying, i had a few drinks, became very relaxed and accidently left my id on the plane. i needed a new one anyway. the picture on my old one was from, like, 8 years ago. -i re-aquainted myself wit
